Unhappy Regretting an impulsive purchase/ Would this grow in S/H?

So I'm still in my "gotta grow them all!" phase, and I wanted to try purchasing from a different orchid greenhouse. I ended up purchasing a Rhyncholaelia digbyana, Myrmecophila tibicinis and Lycaste aromatica. They didn't arrive in the best condition (they don't have that typical "pristine" look that most orchids grown in a greenhouse have, they look like they were taken from the wild) and most of their substrate ended up all over the box, not in their pots so I want to repot them as soon as possible. I still have a lot of LECA because I grow the rest of my orchids in Semi Hydro.

I'm asking specifically about the Myrmecophila (I wanted an orchid I could grow in my tiny patio). It would be my only outdoor orchid. I read they are hot growers, that's why I'm kind of regretting purchasing it, because I'm worried it will die in the colder months. Mexico City has a subtropical highland climate, with a dry and sunny winter. It rarely gets below 5°C (41°F), and if it does, it's only for a couple of hours at night.

Do you think they would do okay Semi Hydro or is it out of the question? Should I bring it inside during the winter, even if it will not get as much sunshine?
